Summary
The course focuses on theoretical and practical approaches to modelling of heat transport. Attention is paid to the application of the theory of similarity, the use of dimensional analysis for the description of physical phenomena, the numerical modelling of heat conduction in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates using the method of elementary balances, respectively, finite volume methods, boundary conditions determination, heat conduction with phase change modelling, heat exchange by radiation between multiple surfaces in a diathermic environment. Knowledge is applied to the modelling of heat transfer in furnaces and in the continuous casting process, including the determination of boundary conditions.
